Cascade Lake Park Improvements

Funding Request

The project request is for $2.75 million in Capital Investment to continue the development of

Cascade Regional Park as envisioned in Cascade Regional Park Master Plan.

Background

Cascade Lake Park is the primary focus for park improvements to serve the community outlined

in Rochester’s Park System Plan. With the connection to the trail network this regional park is

already seeing an estimated visitor use in and around the park of over 100,000 users annually.

This park has been pursued for a long time due to the importance of this type of park in the

community. Thus far, the City has invested well over $10 million dollars on park land

preparation and on various improvements to the park.

The location downtown is such that providing this facility will enhance the lives of the 3,000,000

annual visitors to Rochester and residents of the region as well. The State of Minnesota has

recognized this economic benefits and has designated the Cascade Lake Regional Park as a park

of regional significance.
